We have one Gruntfile.js that looks like this on my coworker's machine.
php: {
dist: {
options: {
port: 8888,
useAvailablePort: true,
keepalive: true,
router: '_router.php',
base: 'src' //dev mode
}
}
},
...and it works fine on his machine but not mine. _router.php is at the top level directory. Running grunt dev leads into no errors in my console during dev deploy.

Yet, I see in my browser at localhost:8888...

Changing the router property in the code above to router: 'src/_router.php' fixes the problem on my machine, but breaks everyone else.
So it stands needing a bit of explanation: Why do I need to re-specify the base directory explicitly in my router property and no one else on my team?
Possibly because path.resolve isn't providing absolute paths to the php script spawned in the task by using the simple options given and options.base to join the true path to the router.
While the task expects a full path to router inside spawn, it only gets the relative path from options.router inside php.js, which pukes rainbow unicorn sparkles everywhere.
The original issue is here. That was eventually fixed here, and yet this problem persisted, so it now appears fixed here but not yet merged with grunt-php master.
